Our house is on fire. Join the resistance: Do no harm/take no shit. My idiosyncratic and confluent bricolage of progressive politics, the collaborative commons, next generation cognitive neuroscience, American pragmatism, de/reconstruction, dynamic systems, embodied realism, postmetaphysics, psychodynamics, aesthetics. It ain't much but it's not nothing.

US has 3rd-world healthcare
Aasif Mandvi of the Daily Show does an interview with a Fox talking head and compares his spin about US healthcare with the reality in Knoxville TN. According to the regressive bubble we have "the best healthcare system in the world." And that Obamacare is going to ruin that and turn us into a 3rd-world country. As usual, the facts don't penetrate this bubble. According to the World Health Organization the US is 37th in the world for healthcare. And the care in Knoxville is exactly what the Foxhead describes for 3rd world countries. And no, Obamacare didn't cause this, as this is the system in place before Obamacare came along. The latter in fact will fix a lot of the problems that made us 37th in the first place. The long, pregnant pause followed by the stammering of the Foxhead after presented with these facts is priceless. And the Fox view of why people are poor is also enlightening.
